I'm not sure if I'm actually back on an emotional even-keel or just distracted enough that I'm not thinking about this 'break-up' thing. In any case, I'm periodically obsessing but without the previously accompanying emotional pain. I imagine it will still hurt if I stop long enough to think about it, but I've got no information about a crushing personal failure here on my part to occupy my mind, so I'm just getting on with life.
There's another sign up outside my kitchen that says "Last Warning"- the floor mates have failed to clean up their act, meaning that the kitchen is still uniformly gross. Monitory compensation is the next level.
I've been catching up on this season of House. I just hit episode 9, where the final line-up is decided. I'm not terribly surprised, honestly. The Ambitious Bitch character is only as interesting as the competition is close- if she wins, there's nothing more for her to do but be evil, while if she loses they get to have the whole "Woe is me, I'm a loser" montage, and an interesting character arc. Once they pulled a drug-addict loser-type patient out for the last episode, it was kind of clear what they were going to do. The false alarm with Thirteen would indeed have been shocking, but also a poor choice for the series- she's a necessary foil for House and the other guys. I am glad that Foreman is back in general. Chase, I could care less, really.
(I can only think that the process of the competition here was inspired by the competition the casting department had to deal with on the show.:)
The learning continues. First and second tests are on the Friday of the week after next.
